Tesla Model Y facelift spied testing in India

Guys, listen to me, Tesla is all set to enter the Indian market and it is doing things in swiftly

Testing for the facelifted Model Y has already begun on Indian roads suggesting it may soon be on sale in the country as well

The Model Y and the Model 3 are also on top of the company's homologation agenda for India

That would be a big deal as these two models will be the first ones from the brand when Tesla finally launches in India

Now, lads, about the Model Y facelift… This new version, announced in January 2025, features some nifty enhancements

They, got an example, improved the car’s aerodynamics, and made it more efficient

You’ll see the car’s new front and rear lighting design, and it’s looking pretty sharp

Inside, the Tesla Model Y features its typical minimalist style, with a prominently mounted 15

4-inch touchscreen in the center of the dash and a separate 8

0-inch touchscreen for rear-seat passengers

Isn’t that cool, friends? The Model Y is available in two variants RWD and Long Range AWD

CLTC longer-range figures claim a pearly 719km for the RWD variant and 662km for the Long Range AWD

The AWD does 0-100 kph in 4

3 seconds, RWD in 5

9 seconds

That's some serious speed! Now friends let me tell you this is a huge deal for Tesla entering into India

They already have one showroom in Mumbai and are also searching for a place in Delhi

They’ve even begun hiring in India for customer support, sales and product development among other roles

Tesla intends to avoid Completely Built Units (CBUs) in the initial phase while considering contract manufacturing rather than building a brand-new plant from scratch immediately

But listen here, pals: Tesla’s got its struggles

In China, the company has been up against tough competition and struggling to keep pace with brands like BYD and Xiaomi

Tesla's cars are slowing down in demand in the European country and interest in US markets is slowing too

That is why it's so important for Tesla to crack the Indian market — and the way to do that will be its pricing strategy

If they get that part right they are in for some major success!
